Moe's Musings Views
Happy Retailing,
I
know it's only September and maybe a little premature, but I am truly
looking forward to 2015. The year starts off with some amazing
industry events. In January we have CES (January 6-9) in Las Vegas
with more than 150,000 attendees viewing the latest and greatest in
Consumer Electronics and Smart Technologies.
LivingKitchen
®
, the international kitchen show at imm Cologne,
Germany (January 19-25) has established itself as the central meeting
point of the kitchen world. The trade fair duo will invite the driving
forces of the kitchen and furniture industry. Including 185 well-known
national and international suppliers from 22 countries, who will present
their latest ideas and innovations from kitchen, furniture and built-in
appliances to sinks, kitchen taps and fittings, worktops, lighting and
accessories.
Also in January, in its second year is Design and Construction week
at the Las Vegas Convention Center (January 20-22) which could
rival CES and Living Kitchen
®
in numbers. Not only is it a combination
of KBIS and IBS, but this year will feature 3 overlapping shows.
The International Window Coverings Expo (with KBIS), Surfaces at
Mandalay Bay (January 21-23), and Winter Las Vegas Market at World
Market Center Las Vegas (January 18-22).
Okay, that was just January! For more events and to help plan your
entire year, visit our website www.retailobserver.com and go to the
Events page. This is our new hub for Industry Shows, Events and Buy
Fairs. If you know of an event that is not listed, please send it to us at
info@retailobserver.com so it can be considered for the calendar.
FAST FORWARD
TO: 2015
